GNOME’s GObject-Introspection framework provides nice language bindings for many libraries and languages, but this time last year, it wasn’t possible to cross-compile it on Debian. As a result of work started at last year’s mini-Debconf, now it is! This talk looks at why this wasn’t straightforward, how we got here, and what package maintainers can do to improve our ability to cross-compile and bootstrap new architectures.
